The Central Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday carried out searches at premises of what officials described as the "then aide of former Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik" and eight other locations in Delhi and the Union Territory in the alleged insurance scam case, said a PTI report citing official statement.

The officials told PTI that the CBI teams began a search operation Wednesday this morning at the residence of the former aide of the ex-Governor and other locations. The agency move comes within a month of questioning Malik on April 28.
